Abstract
The number of connected graphs on n labeled points and q lines (no loops, no multiple lines) is f(n,q). In the first paper of this series I showed how to find an (increasingly complicated) exact formula for f(n,n+k) for general n and successive k. The method would give an asymptotic approximation to f(n,n+k) for any fixed k as n โ โ. Here I find this approximation when k = o(n^1/3^), a much more difficult matter. The problem of finding an approximation to f(n,q) when q > n + Cn^1/3^ and (2 q/n) โ log n โ โ โ is open.

The number of nonseparable graphs on n labeled points and q lines is u(n, 9). In the second paper of this series an exact formula for u(n, n + k) was found for general n and successive (small) k. The method would give an asymptotic approximation for fixed k as n + 30. Here an asymptotic approximatio
## Abstract We have written computer programs to determine exactly the coefficients in Wright's formula for __f(n, n + k)__, the number of connected sparsely edged labeled graphs (see preceding paper), and used them up to __k__ = 24. We give the results up to __k__ = 7.
A smooth graph is a connected graph without endpoints; f (n, q ) is the number of connected graphs, v(n, q ) is the number of smooth graphs, and u(n, q) is the number of blocks on n labeled points and q edges: wk, V,, and u k are the exponential generating functions of f(n, n + k ) , v(n, n + k). an
An edge of a 3-connected graph G is said to be removable if G&e is a subdivision of a 3-connected graph. Holton et al. (1990) proved that every 3-connected graph of order at least five has at least W(|G| +10)ร6X removable edges. In this paper, we prove that every 3-connected graph of order at least
